  1. Training in Clinical Trials for Subjects with Low Vision
    AVA KISER; Fiscal Year: 2007
    ..This research may indicate the value of CAM-related interventions, and thus potentially improve the reliability of vision tests as outcome measures during future clinical trials and the quality of life for RP patients. ..
